[An uncharacteristically bummed Wally is looking into the screen, head resting in his palm. Behind him are the balloons, bobbing cheerfully behind him. It looks as if he's attempting to eat cereal (out of a salad mixing bowl and with a ladle), but for once, he doesn't seem to have much of an appetite.]

Curse days, huh? Aren't they swell?

They've never taken you seriously and they never will.

They're such downers. When I woke up and saw them, they were funny, but now, not so much. They followed me to the bathroom, for heaven's sake. Where else should a man get peace and quiet if not his own bathroom? It's not what they're saying that's bothering me --

You're a joke. You're not a hero. You think you'll ever be a Superman or a Lantern?

It's more that they just don't shut up. And I thought I talked too much. Anyone got earplugs?

You don't deserve to be in the League.

Arrrrrgggghhh!

[He throws his ladle at one - it's knocked down momentarily before it wobbles its way back up.]

And you throw like a baby girl.

[ He files all the balloon's scathing remarks away -- but it's trained instinct, nothing personal. If anything, he seems vaguely amused, though it shows more in the set of his eyes than his mouth. ]

I'd opt for noise-canceling earphones.

Have any handy, buddy?

[What's greater? Wally's arrogance or his insecurities?]

[ They seem comfortably neck and neck, from Hei's observation. ]

I'm not on the clock at BestBuy.

[ re: He offers suggestions for free. Handouts are a different story. ]

[Cereal in a salad bowl with a ladle. Reminds Angela of the stoners in college.]

And they're sexist too.

To be fair, I think babies of both genders are really bad at throwing.

Then it should say like a baby. Don't single out the girls. They might grow up to kick your ass.

Look, I'm the last guy who would say a girl can't kick my a--

You throw like a gender neutral infant. The kind of infant who wears blue and pink both because assigning a sex to a color is asinine.

...What the balloon said.

[She's rolling her eyes so hard at this balloon. They're about to roll right out of her head.]

It's still bullshit.

Have you attempted outrunning them?

they just pop right back up whenever i stop. can't run forever. or all day. not here anyway

This may be a 24-hour curse. Do you have sufficient food to keep running?

no. even if i did, this place does somethin weird to my powers. especially on curse days. i can't run as far as i would normally without fatigue.

Are you still able to create whirlwinds? It may get rid of the corn around you.

[ He sympathizes. ]

Need any company?

If you want. These guys aren't very good company.

Oh, please. As if your quips amuse anyone but you.

But, you more than make up for it?

[She's been followed by her own balloons today. She knows how he feels. Her mother's insults and jeers have been following her all day.]

They'er terrible, aren't they...I don't know if it means anything, coming from me, but...well, I don't think what the balloons are saying is true....I think you'er a great hero. One of the best I know.

Of course it means something from you. It means everything.

She doesn't really like you, she pities you. Girls have never liked you.

Hey, tell your balloon to be quiet, because that's not true. I do like you! I like you a lot.

Rapunzel, dear, you're being fooled...you're so easy to fool, dear, why on earth would you ever thing he liked you?

....sorry...I guess my balloons aren't any more cheerful than yours...Please go away, Mother.

How about we just say they're both wrong? 'Cause I...I like you too. Really like you.

Real smooth, West.

[She smiles shyly, ignoring the comments from her balloons.]

I really like you too, Wally...and don't listen to your balloons, they're not true. You're great.
